Brian Harman Wins The Open 2023

 

Brian Harman won The Open Championship 2023 at Royal Liverpool on Sunday, carding a final-round 1-under 70 to finish at 13-under 275. The victory was Harman's second on the PGA Tour and his first major championship.

Harman, who is 36 years old, led the field in driving accuracy, hitting 75% of fairways, and averaged 285.4 yards off the tee. He also hit 66.7% of greens and needed only 1.5 putts per hole, which was second among players who made the cut.

Harman's victory was a long time coming. He had not won on the PGA Tour since the 2017 Wells Fargo Championship, and he had never finished in the top 10 in a major championship. But on Sunday, everything came together for Harman, and he played some of the best golf of his career.

Harman started the final round with a one-shot lead, and he never looked back. He made four birdies on the front nine, and he kept the pressure on the rest of the field throughout the back nine. Harman made a clutch birdie on the 17th hole to extend his lead, and he closed out the victory with a par on the 18th hole.

Harman's victory was a surprise to many, but it was not a surprise to those who have known him for a long time. Harman has always been a talented golfer, and he has always had a strong work ethic. He is a grinder who is not afraid to put in the hard work, and he is finally reaping the rewards of his labor.

Harman's victory is a major accomplishment, and it is a sign that he is still one of the best golfers in the world. He is now a major champion, and he will be looking to add to his trophy case in the years to come.

Here are some additional details about Harman's victory:

He became the first Georgian to win The Open since 1914.

He is the second-oldest player to win The Open since Tom Watson in 2009.

He is the first player to win The Open after leading after every round since Tiger Woods in 2005.

Harman's victory is a major boost for the state of Georgia golf. He is the third Georgian to win a major championship, joining Bobby Jones and Bubba Watson. Harman's victory will hopefully inspire other young golfers in Georgia to pursue their dreams of playing professional golf.
